Enhancing Your Cheekbones: A Guide to Cheek Fillers

Cheek fillers help restore a youthful, lifted appearance by adding volume to a patient’s cheeks. As we age, our faces can experience volume loss, leading to wrinkles and sagging. Dermal fillers are a minimally-invasive, non-surgical way to enhance cheek structure, restoring volume and contouring the face.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injected into the face to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles and revitalise facial appearance. Traditional permanent or semi-permanent dermal fillers are used with collagen to counteract common side effects of ageing, like wrinkles and sagging. However, at Face Doctors, we use modern Hyaluronic Acid Gel fillers to produce more natural results. While collagen fillers are not reversible, our HA fillers can be dissolved instantly. 

​Our Face Doctors team greatly values your safety and happiness, so we only use scientifically backed HA fillers and high-quality equipment. We take great care to tailor each procedure to each patient, streamlining the process to maximise results and help you reach your goals. 

Along with being used for cheek fillers, HA fillers can also be used for lips, around the eyes, under the chin and more.

Why Patients Choose Dermal Fillers For Cheek Rejuvenation

Why do so many New Zealand patients choose dermal fillers? These fillers, particularly Hyaluronic Acid Gel fillers, have many advantages that curious patients should know about:

• Non-Surgical Procedure. Dermal fillers are non-surgical, and they do not require you to be put under general anesthesia. Procedures are relatively quick. We will take great care to ensure you are comfortable before injecting the fillers into the targetted areas.
  
• Restoring Volume. These cheek fillers restore volume and define cheekbones, lifting your face and making you appear more youthful. Reaching your goals can improve your self-confidence as well. 
  
• Natural-Looking Results. HA gel fillers produce natural-looking results when applied by a professional who’s considered your specific goals. 
  
• Reversibility. Altering your face can be stressful, and we understand that you may be nervous about your results. A significant benefit of HA gel fillers is that they’re reversible. If you’re unhappy with your results, we will gladly dissolve your fillers. This takes some stress out of the situation, as you can have peace of mind knowing that you can restore your face if needed. 
  
• Improved Safety. HA gel fillers are considered safer than traditional collagen fillers. They have very few risks and are safe for most patients.

What To Expect During Your Treatment

If you choose cheek fillers, what timeline should you expect?

Consultation. First, we will have a consultation so you can become more informed about the procedure, and we can better understand your goals. We will discuss the potential outcomes and other important factors when choosing dermal fillers. During this consultation, we encourage you to be honest about your goals so we can peronalise your treatment to you. You should create specific goals, such as smoothing wrinkles, adding volume to cheeks, etc.

We will also tell you what you should do before your appointment day, such as not wearing makeup or stopping blood thinning medication.
We encourage you to be fully honest about any thoughts you have. Getting the answers to your questions now will empower you to make a confident decision for your treatment. We understand that you may be nervous about getting cheek fillers, so we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Procedure. The procedure itself will be quick with minimal discomfort. The length of your filler procedure will depend on its complexity. As always, we will prioritise your safety and comfort and welcome you to speak up if you have concerns.
During the treatment, the HA gel filler will be strategically injected into your face to achieve your desired results. 
Aftercare. After injections, you should see results right away. Your true results will slowly come into effect over the course of one or two weeks. 
You may experience mild swelling or bruising after your injections, but these side effects will go away within a few days. Our team will tell you what you should do to avoid disturbing your new cheek fillers, such as avoiding excessive touching or pressure on your injection sights.
Your dermal filler results may last anywhere from 9 to 18 months, depending on the product used and what kind of treatment you received.
